If you are interested in running the 300 M hurdles, this article is for you. It is tiring and fun race. You'll need endurance, speed, and hurdling skills to excel in this race.

Steps

1

If you are just beginning 300 meter hurdling, you might be familiar with 55 meter or 100 meter hurdling. 100 meter and 300 meter hurdling usually takes place during the outdoor track season, while 55 meter hurdling takes place indoor. In 300 m. races, the hurdles are much farther apart, making it less necessary to count steps in between the hurdles. Most hurdlers gradually learn to stutter the steps up to each hurdle so that they have their dominant leg leading, so there is no reason to hesitate going over each hurdle.

2

Attack every hurdle and stay low, keep an even distance between the hurdle and your body the whole race when going over. 300 meter hurdles are called intermediates, as they have a lower height than 100 meter or 55 meter hurdles. It's easier to get over them so that you can keep sprinting steadily. What you will mostly work on is decreasing airtime and having endurance to finish the race.

Do not pull your lead leg around the hurdle, that will just slow you down. You want to put it up and over getting as low to the hurdle as you can, then with your trail leg snap it so you can spend less time in air, do not drag it along.
